the ps3 should win…. you save a lot of money being its rechargeable and if u set the settings for it to turn offf automatically, it will last longer than both wii and xbox 360….

Definitely agree. I have a Wii and 360 and the only reason I change the batteries in the 360 controllers more often is because I play it more.lol But I can usually go 2 months with my gaming style before changing the battery.

On the other hand my cousin has a PS3 and while he used to play with it in wireless mode, he now has to use the wire nearly all the time because it no longer holds a charge.

Actually if you go into the ps3′s settings the controller can be set to auto shut off after ten min. of no use.

Pixelsword, you can recharge the Xbox 360 controller (with battery pack) while playing as well.

Haha that’s cheating, cause I imagine the test’s goal was to see how long fully charged (whether it has rechargable batteries or not) controllers would last. And I use rechargable loose batteries for my Wii controllers, and it’s actually usually equal or better than regular batteries, but there are so many different brands of batteries I really can’t say for sure.

Oh, yeah; lol sorry to blog this up, but doesn’t regular batteries generally last longer than charge packs?

so (to follow up) so isn’t the PS3′s “downtime” technically zero?

Well, I don’t know what’s true, as I only had to recharge a PS3 controller so I’ll need you guys help, but isn’t the PS3 the only controller you can play while recharging?
